The win box is the server and solaris box is the client. I installed the Services for Unix on the Win box and configured NFS (what little there is to do). I created a share and thought I was ready to rock. I do a showmount -e on the Win box and the share shows up. rpcinfo servername shows all the processes I expect. From the Solaris client, I can do the same thing with rpcinfo and showmount -e servername and get results back. I had the firewall admin open up all IP traffic between these to boxes (just for now, for testing, having problems before this with just 2049 and 111 open). I can mount the share with no problem (mount -o rw -F nfs 192.168.0.10:/testmount /testmount). It mounts right away and running mount shows it with read/write/setuid on server, but as soon as I try to write to the share, I get a "Stale NFS" error. I check the permissions on the mounted folder, changed to 777 before I mounted, owned by nobody/nobody (I am root right now). On the win server, the log is showing a successfull mount, no errors. The permissions on the directory on the server are wide open for all users, including connecting NFS clients. Any idea what the hell could be going on? I am using Solaris 8 and Win2K with SFU 2.2. Win2K patched to SP3. Thanks for any answers peope might be able to provide, I have to get this working today. Michael French
